Had been slacking from work this past week. The most meaningful work I had done in the studio was reviving my ancient CNC machine that had been sitting collecting dust for I don’t know how many years.

A friend visited the studio on Mon. afternoon, so I spent most of the day with him. Took a day off on Tue. for a house gathering to farewell a couple of friends. We happily chatted and dined and chatted again with more alcohol from 4pm to around midnight! Knowing that Typhoon 8 would be hoisted the next day, I slept in and wasted the entire day at home on Wed. Thur was my usual day off as I had my weekly calligraphy class scheduled in mid-afternoon. Also enrolled in evening workshops to learn about traditional Chinese paper backing techniques on Thur., finished the last of 4 weekly classes that night. Got to the studio late in the afternoon on Fri., and had to leave early to meet my parents and their financial partners for dinner.

The most productive day was Sat. I woke up early to do laundry and some light cleaning of the apartment before heading back to the studio to revive the ancient CNC machine. Was planning to go for a run after dinner, but I was too sleepy and decided to slack off.

There goes the first week of Nov., next week should be a better week!
